Nutmeg Mannikins in Texas
I have a family of Nutmeg Mannikins that have moved into my back yard near Houston, TX. They are fun little birds and I have been photographing them everyday for a while now.

(There was some discussion about their distribution in the Caribbean in this id thread.)
I think they are very handsome birds - would love to have a chance to watch them in the garden. |

They're a firmly established introduced species here in Cairns too. I quite like them, but they may be responsible for displacing the native finches from the area...

I've only seen them in PetsMart. Nice looking birds. But I'm wondering how they will affect native birds as well.
